In this profound podcast episode, theologian Prof. Dion Forster (Free University Amsterdam) explores the danger of spiritual sleepwalking through the lens of Jesus’ Transfiguration (Luke 9:29-36). Key insights: The Disciples’ "Wake-Up Call": Peter, James, and John physically awoke to see Christ’s divine glory—a metaphor for how believers today often miss God’s presence in daily life. Glory Was Always There: Jesus didn’t "become" glorious on the mountain—His disciples’ spiritual drowsiness had blinded them to His eternal majesty. Why We Sleepwalk: Christians risk navigating life unaware of spiritual realities—both God’s promises and the enemy’s schemes. Moses & Elijah’s Appearance: How did Peter recognize them? Possibly through oral tradition or divine revelation—but the deeper message is their witness to Christ’s fulfillment of Law (Moses) and Prophets (Elijah). Challenge: "Don’t reserve mountaintop moments for Sundays. Seek God’s glory in the messy valleys of life."
